You must live in New Jersey because you ask a lot of questions.
Old Roseanne Roseannadanna joke.
What are ya trying to do, make me sick?
First, the was a scanned clipping posted regarding Roy's suicide, but no link. It looks impossible for someone to have found it via an Internet search, and the description wasn't enough to determine which bridge it was.
Oh, yes I read those posts, guess I was focused on the petition.
Second, unless there was an actual link to Luna, that is nowhere close to Centre County so it is out of the jurisdiction of the grand jury.
Ok, so there is some sort of geographical range on their power.
Third, I think in some cases posters, especially the earlier ones could be subpoenaed; keep in mind that some were actually former staffers and relatives. They can also do things like subpoena financial records and family e-mail. I think the family attorney may be subpoenaed, and family and coworkers probably would be. Witnesses would be as well.
Even if the grand jury did not recommend indictment, it can report. That report can be released, as was seen in the recent case.
I am sure we'd all love to hear these testimonies. Has Ray's gf, daughter, or nephews ever pushed for a GJ? I wonder how they feel about this.
Fourth, the first five pages of the Spanier Grand Jury (11/01/12) presentment deal with the 1998 incident, including the investigation, even though none of the people indicted (the PSU 3) in it were indicted for anything in 1998 (Sandusky was previously). I expect more to come out on that in the PSU 3 trial.
Fifth, yes, and the reporter was surprised that he had it in hands in less than 15 minutes. That day, I was engaged in a conversation that involved the text of a relatively obscure book published in 1921, on a subject that was arcane, even for me. As I did not, and do not have a mobile device, it would be impossible for me to be in Lewisburg that day. At the time, my health would have made such a trip impossible, at least getting there and back again in one day.
Finally! One theory/avenue we can mark off the list of how Ray disappeared. That leaves about 20 still on the table...
Sixth, the BDP did check me out, and from what I'm told, the verdict was "pristine." I was also checked out by the reporter and the editor prior to starting the blog. I would not object to being called, if called.
I would think it would be exciting--not in a fun way, because of the seriousness of the situation, but in the way where you get to participate in something important.
